CARAVANS - SWEEPING THRU THE CITY

DOROTHY NORWOOD, SHIRLEY CAESAR, INEZ ANDREWS, DELORES WASHINGTON, ALBERTINA WALKER

[@ilae.williams7675]

The roots of this song go so deep, you can't mention this song without bringing back memories of the days when the Black church was all Black people had, to lean on, at that time...

[@ReelWords2]

My grandma used to play this tape when I was a little girl decades ago. God led me here today. There’s so much Power in true praise and worship. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings!

[@MrStyle23]

The Queen of Gospel Miss Albertina Walker! Those Caravans are still the baddest Gospel group in all the land. Albertina Walker know she can spot some talent!

[@bootedwithstyle3074]

Shirley Caesar and Dorothy Norwood Blew the roof off on this song.

[@MrMbell2]

I'm 28 and I did not grow up in a Pentecostal church but my mother came from that background and it was past on to me through my love of Gospel music. This is wonderful to me. Somebody my age might not get but that's on them.

[@wyannaalston209]

The Father put this song on my 💙 in the middle of my worship with Him right now, at 2:22am!! Remembering in the childrdrens choir very young in age, 5,or 6 years old but remembering it at this time is so special just turning 40 days ago🥰🥰🥰All Praise to MY FATHER,MOST HIGH, HIS SON, KING OF KINGS, AND HOLY SPIRIT😇🙌🏾🙏🏾 HALELUIAH!!! IM SO THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL......

[@goldenlady3678]

THIS IS THAT KIND OF MUSIC THAT BRINGS EVERYBODY TOGETHER, NOT ONE PERSON SITTING FROM WHAT I CAN SEE!! YES, SING Y'ALL!!!

[@kl.8992]

Please bring this gospel back

[@DykebaRogersPrayWithoutCeasing]

Dorothy Norwood, pickem up puttem' down ,pickem' up puttem' down ": you can't help but spread your arms of love around the Caravans Women of Distinction,

[@alBsure85]

This ole school foot tapping, hand clapping right here this how the awards used to be.. my type of carrying on😊.

[@jeannetillman3139]

Legends! These sistas are "sanging" love the way they tag team and the other one takes it from there, Run on Sistas!

[@shaunygb4156]

Dorothy blew!!! That note got me hollerin!!!!!!! Mama Shirley did what she always does, SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT, I was not surprised

[@earlwilliamsjr3864]

That is how we should feel when we talk about God!! The passion should bubble out of us and we should shout and tell everyone what the love of God has done for us!!!!!

[@DykebaRogersPrayWithoutCeasing]

Can't listen to Caravans without adding this one in, LOVE Pastor Shirley Caesar I am gonnna take off this old body and be transformed , ....to be absent from this body is to be present with God ! IN THAT CITY ..

[@Royalorgans]

and so did Dorothy Norwood, she was a blessing also with her style.

[@sybilwindham604]

Who's here in March 2021 can't wait to go sweeping through that city...

[@latorriachatman9098]

old gospel woman my role model all day long I can learn from them smiles!!

[@bpopulus]

Sing Mama Shirley. You are Always A Blessing to Me.

[@Royalorgans]

Sing, "Greatest story teller" Dorothy Norwods. you added fuel to the fire

[@kmnspireddesigns7418]

baaaaabbyyy this is real gospel music. watch the original when they were young. the caravans were fire.

[@cenafayeartstyl2284]

i love me some caravans im 29 this takes me back when i was young listening to the tapes in my dad and mom car going to various places. sing yall

[@OPedroVilaNova]

The queen of gospel music, Shirley Caesar and the legendary caravans

[@scaryanima9268]

So Albertina just chopped liver

[@iluvmyboba]

Wow, all my Mother's are here. Praise GOD!!!

[@clarabell4724]

I get tired of hearing the phrase " Old school ". God is a Eternal God and he does not cater to the old nor the new because he is the Alpha & Omega, the beginning and the end and the end between too! All he wants is to be worshiped and glorified. Traditional gospel accomplishes that and contemporary gospel does to. Which ever you do do it to the glory of God! The Lord will receive both.

[@PT-zv3lz]

Love this song ❤❤❤❤

[@jazzylibra1]

Nobody can do it like you Rev. Shirley Caesar!!

[@TheRozberry]

I love this song!

[@charlesharrison3299]

I love this song! She makes it real. Love that girl!

[@tlover1062]

THE ORIGINAL CARAVANS!!!!! TRUE TREASURE..

[@cenafaye]

sing and preach shirly and praise him dorothy was praising the Lord with yall!!!! love you caravans

[@BaptistBoi]

That something is "REALNESS"!!!! They not singing for show...it's REAL & you can tell b/c they don't have to put on a "SHOW" & try to make people shout or do a whole lot of other foolishness many of the contemporary artists of today tend to do!!! They just stand flat-footed & sing under the anointing & let God take care of the rest!!! I love them & they don't get the credit they deserve...they should be on every gospel show that comes on so the young folk can see how it's supposed to be done!!!!

[@JordanToolsee]

Theres just something about this old school music that touches way down in someone's soul! Thank you Jesus

[@nharding24]

we did this song and it was off the hook. i love the old school. albertina walker may she rest in peace.

[@samuelchampagne]

There will neva be nothing like this ever again!!!! That's how you do it! This watered down worldly version that we have to listen to today! Lawd help us! Can't tell if its Gospel or rap nowadays--it's rediculous

[@mikenoil]

That GROWL Dorothy did...WOW

[@mspooh623]

As Always,SHIRLEY do what she well,she is truly a blessed woman of god.

[@annieweathersby9125]

Hallelujah, Jesus, Hallelujah yes Lord

[@AIKAN74]

@keministic i grew up cogic and there is no way you got all that fire on stage and those folks aint tearing up that place....i find younger generations are just dead!!!!!!!

[@Mrskmdumas12]

I feel like it's more of an "entertain me" thing as opposed to being in tuned to the Spirit.

[@lyricd617045]

RIP SISTER ALBERTINA

[@iluvmyboba]

Sing, Mothers!!!

[@mrmusiq88]

there is something about these women right here!

[@cenafaye]

@BaptistBoi i agree all the way some of these new contemporary singers need to go to the old school singers and get some advice lol this is the anointing the caravans didnt move much but their anointing did. they not only have the anointing but they are real about what they do its not for showi love them!

[@jevarismontgomery1589]

Thank you Jesus

[@calamityjane1581]

[@mlewis1651]

That’s what I’m talking about!!!

[@dddddadadad1796]

Oh boy.. here comes Shirley Ann with this takeover spirit lol

[@PennTrafford]

Okay -- 'The Caravans' Wikipedia entry in Google also lists '1976', but that might also have been for a brief engagement. Thanks....

[@estherspirit]

Dorothy!!!!!

[@savannah58]

Get your shout on....praise God!!!!

[@dredayalldayerday]

Lord that one choir member that wants to outdo everybody....

[@Tyreantwon]

that loud/sharp soprano needs to hush...let the old skool sing

[@terrellcampbell2875]

Agreed

[@Onlyone-m6f]

I was going to say the same thing or turn her mic down some. She's overpowering them.

[@ladaviousrobinson1118]

They should've just let delores washington hold that soprano part down

[@LoudOutLove]

who's on Bass?

[@MrMbell2]

@noahriv I know right. LOL. Even when she smiles she still looks like she's angry. Its almost if her face is hurting from smiling. One time Patti Labelle made Debra laugh when she complemented her on her dress at The Walk Of Fame Award show which honored Patti. Patti told her "I'm Scared Of That Dress" during her acceptance speech and Debra laughed and smiled. That was the only time Debra look genuinely happy for five seconds.

[@richieanthony8523]

Go ahead ladies

[@tsmith1495]

Amen

[@BaritonalHaunting]

@BaptistBoi u betta tell it like it is! Praise Him!

[@utbr01]

that;'s what I'm talkin' bout!!! that's some true gospel sangin' !! Get it ladies!!

[@cenafaye]

@BaptistBoi i agree with you all the way these new singers need to get sme guidance from these older singers because they had the anointing and not only that they didn't do it for show

[@lamarflyguymccall85]

Y'all legends better sang!

[@carlkelly8173]

I wonder why Shirley didn’t do the first part this performance with the group she was apart of

[@deshaunx776]

Probably because she didn’t want to grab all the attention. She’s better known by then as a solo artist. She joined them and made this moment even more special.

[@anthonyhamilton7778]

Will you meet me, over there, in that city, over yonder? .

[@brandonmontgomery3195]

There should definitely have been a praise break after this. I don't believe I would've been able to hold my mule as the old folks say. I believe I would have began to run a little. Shirley looked as if she wanted to but she held it.
